NIHR HRC in Paediatrics and Child Health Mind & Body Integration Theme Workshop: Paediatric Health Innovation Sprint
Monday 24 February 2025
As one of the new cross-cutting themes in the NIHR HRC in Paediatrics and Child Health, the Mind & Body Integration Theme is hosting a workshop, “Paediatric Health Innovation Sprint” on 3rd April 2025.
The workshop will be a whole-day event held at Red Lion Whittlesford, Station Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB22 4NL (near the train station Whittlesford Parkway, directly connected to London Liverpool Street Station).
The goal of this workshop is to encourage and support the development of paediatric med tech innovations for children and young people.
This event is designed for innovators to pitch their ideas, receive expert guidance, and refine their innovations with the help of experienced regulatory and IP consultants, product developers, commercial strategists, health economists, and more. Inspired by the Health Tech Enterprise Sprints, the day will be fast-paced and highly collaborative, helping you take your idea to the next level.
If you have a med tech innovation—or even just an early-stage concept—that could improve healthcare for children, we encourage you to apply. Attendance is competitive, and successful applicants will gain valuable insights and connections to help shape their idea into something actionable and impactful.
